EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured stipple engraving showcases Kadoo, a native of the Caroline Islands, adorned with elongated earlobes, a striking necklace, and intricate tattoos. The detailed illustration, originally created by Louis Choris for Otto von Kotzebue's Picturesque voyage around the world in 1822, offers a glimpse into the unique cultural practices and traditions of this indigenous community. Kadoo's elaborate body art reflects the rich history and significance of tattooing in Polynesian culture. Each symbol etched into his skin tells a story, representing his identity, lineage, and connection to his ancestors. The meticulous craftsmanship of these tattoos highlights the skilled artistry that has been passed down through generations. In addition to his impressive tattoos, Kadoo's elongated earlobes and ornate necklace further emphasize his distinct appearance and cultural heritage. These traditional adornments serve as symbols of status and belonging within his tribe, showcasing pride in one's roots and customs. Through this exquisite engraving from Frederic Shoberl's The World in Miniature collection, we are transported to a time when exploration brought together diverse cultures from around the globe. Kadoo stands as a testament to the beauty and complexity of indigenous communities like those found in the Caroline Islands—a reminder of our shared humanity despite our differences.
